The sun over Greenland has risen two days early, baffling scientists and sparking fears that Arctic icecaps are melting faster than previously thought.
Experts say the sun should have risen over the Arctic nation's most westerly town, Ilulissat, yesterday, ending a month-and-a-half of winter darkness.
But for the first time in history light began creeping over the horizon at around 1pm on Tuesday - 48 hours ahead of the usual date of 13 January.
The mysterious sunrise has confused scientists, although it is believed the most likely explanation is that it is down to the lower height of melting icecaps allowing the sun's light to penetrate through earlier.

Rebound has been going on for at least 10,000 years.
Plus there has also been noted some decrease in the peach bulge of the geoid below the equator.
The North-South magnetic pole has flipped several times in geologic history. Since we have no experience with it, it will comes as a surprise. Whatever it is down there that causes the magnetic swing, we make get to figure it out in our lifetime, or at least the survivors might figure it out.
I hate to see them waste a lot of virgins to try to prevent it.

I'm sure someone will be happy to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I heard the magnetic swing has something to do with the earth's molten core shifting.

THERE IS A TON OF SIESMIC ACTIVITY GOING ON FOR SURE--I BELIEVE THINGS HAVE SHIFTED SIGNIFICANTLY--THE WEATHER PATTERNS ARE ABOUT AS UNIQUE AS IT GETS AS WELL---
THE GOVT IS USING HAARP TO CORRECT AND MODIFY WHERE POSSIBLE--THE EARTH HAS ALOT OF YING/YANG THE EARTH DOES YING, HAARP DOES YANG, ITS SCIENCE IS BEYOND ME BUT I KNOW THEIR DOING IT---TDD

Apparently it takes thousands of years for the magnetic poles to flip over. The change will be very slow.

Unless the Mayans are right, then it could take a little less time.:-)

I'm thinking the Mayan calendar was produced by the Mayan government so I wouldn't be too worried about their predictions. 😉

I don't think HAARP (wikipedia link) has anything to do with seismic activity. It should, however, be of interest to GPS users in Alaska because the experiments affect the ionosphere.
From your own post:

What does that have to do with your hypothetical shift in the Earth's axis?
It sounds more like it should worry people that a glacier that's been there for all of recorded history could melt that fast in only one year...

The Mayans certainly didn't do a good job at predicting their own end.

Exactly right GC and do you think that if anyone does KNOW, do you think they are going to tell us if anything is going on....I have to believe that cave property is more saleable than waterfront lately. They will not let realators know which is which, and of course a cave doesn't need any pins, so we are left out!!! Back awhile I mentioned some sun stuff...suprise no one got back 'cept Ted:-)

But they did predict, to the day, the arrival of the conquistadors. Lucky guess I guess. 🙂

THE EARTH IS MOVING!!!!
yep, DOWN!!!!!!
